Atheist Display In Daley Plaza Marks Pagan Winter Solstice, Bill Of Rights

Story by Ted Cox, courtesy DNAinfo Chicago:

DOWNTOWN — Add atheists to the groups putting up holiday displays at Daley Plaza.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has set up a big, neon "'A' Is for Atheists" display at Daley Plaza, between a giant Hanukkah menorah and a Nativity scene.

Signs explaining the display say it's to celebrate the pagan holiday of the winter solstice, "the birth of the unconquered sun," but also the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution, "which reminds us there can be no freedom OF religion, without having freedom FROM religion in government."
